Mildly irritated yet not actually confused, Lena tries to shift her thoughts into an order conducting the military need.
"Every strategic decision always is an ideologic one, as the one cannot be without the other in any revolutionary context. If it indeed is, then it's a tactical decision indicating the need for solely military actions carried out to vanguard the overall strategy.
However, as I don't know the word about the Monary, I can only make a rough assumption here.
With pushing the actual field of combat operations deeper into libertonian territory, it stretches the aggressors supply lines, putting the Republics ally into their back and eventually, given the size of the Royal Forces I could gather intel on, end in a new political power fortifying territory between the Liberty Republic and the Bretonian Empire, as further pushing into libertonian core systems would have the supply chain collapse. In return a draw in this conflict will likely end in 3 nations unwelcome to each side sharing a small zone of common interest.
Given those circumstances, any attempt to further put colleteral damage upon either the Republic or the Empire is likely not responded to properly by their respective naval forces, opening the unique chance to make use of the strain brought with the war to arouse a socialistic idea within the populace easier as it otherwise would be, should either the Republic or the Empire not win anything in this conflict without being put at their existential limits.
Either way, they're all depleting resources, material and stress the peoples will to stand behind their governments decisions should any combat actions just cause casualties and losses, yet they'll claw upon the hope of victory which in return keeps the previous outlined cycle going on."
This time staying focussed on the Field Marshal, she is awaiting his evaluation upon her thoughts, should he even bother to answer to the presumably incoherent facts she put together.
Overall military strategy, not her best field of operations, not even close. And yet, dissembling the concerns she has about the content of the response she gave, Lena is hiding her scepsis under an emotionless look towards Garcia.
